Building an Old-fashioned Log Chicken House, Part 1 - The FHC Show, ep 14

Pa Mac's little flock of hens have just about outgrown there little log chicken house he built for them back in season one of the show. In this latest episode #14 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac begins a 10-part series on building a larger old-fashioned log chicken house from materials found on the homestead, using simple hand tools and self-sufficient, sustainable methods. Several different types of structures for raising chickens are shown (from the commercial to the permaculture models, and everything in between), plus a glimpse into why raising poultry of this type holds a sentimental place in Pa Mac's heart. Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
